cast a peach

Xiaoshui went to school.The house was empty again.

Tan Mingli got up in the morning to water the flowers, did the housework, carefully arranged all kinds of dolls, and went to the study to get books to read as usual.

But for some reason, she was reading a book, but her mind was not on the book, the words on the page were too sharp to read, and she read half of the book in a chaotic manner, but she didn't read anything.

Forget it.

Tan Mingli simply put down the book, stopped forcing herself to read, and took a glass to pour herself wine.

I seem to be drinking all the time lately.

She filled a glass, swirled it gently, and thought while staring at the garnet-red liquid in the glass.

Of course she knew why.but……

Tan Mingli pressed her forehead and let out a soft sigh.

She knew exactly what to do, didn't she?What is there to hesitate about?This kind of thing can't be delayed again and again. Once it is delayed, let the relationship between her and Xiao Shui become deeper and deeper. I don't know if Xiao Shui will--

Moreover, she doesn't know if it will be herself who can't help it first.

The sinful and soul-shaking stealth kiss a few days ago came to mind.

Tan Mingli closed her eyes, and let out a breath of restraint.

Yes, she wasn't sure how long her self-control would last.In this respect, the desire and possessiveness she suppressed in her heart for a long time seemed to be more dangerous than Xiao Shui herself.

It is better to make a decision as soon as possible.

To set a time to come.

She looked through the calendar wearily.

It's already the end of October.After all, she and Xiao Shui have only known each other... for two months?Why is there such a deep feeling?She doesn't understand.

Tan Mingli's gaze lightly scanned one date after another, she was obviously the one who was making the decision, she was the one who was going to let go, but she was holding the knife to cut off love, but she clearly felt that the knife was also cutting her own. Heart.

Love seems to be a double-edged sword.

Tan Mingli hastily quit the calendar and turned off the phone.

Wait a few more days... just wait a few more days, Xiao Shui's face is still not fully healed, she has been very happy these days, she really can't bear it...

next month?next month.

Tan Mingli made a promise to herself in her heart.

Just next month.

After being dazed for a while, Tan Mingli picked up her phone to look at it again, opened WeChat, and the chat box on the top was Xiaoshui:

"Happy birthday sister! I wish you a healthy and safe new year! If possible, I hope you will be as happy as possible!"

Below are some cute emoticons.

It was posted on time at midnight, Xiaoshui must have been exhausted last night.

She always went to bed early, and she didn't see the news until this morning. She felt distressed and moved. Looking at the girl who smiled at her with a guilty conscience, she really didn't know what to say.

In the end, she still couldn't say a word of blame. She probably subconsciously knew that she would not spend too much time with Xiao Shui like this, and she wanted to cherish it, and be especially nice to Xiao Shui. Thank you softly, and tell Xiao Shui to wash up quickly and come to eat.

Xiaoshui...

It was already the first time she sighed recently, Tan Mingli looked at the screen for a while, and tapped "Favorite Messages" lightly.

Today is Tuesday, and Xiao Shui doesn't have many classes in the afternoon, so he should come back early.

Tan Mingli remembered Zhao Guangshui's class schedule more clearly than the student herself, and she had an impression after a little recollection.

Even though she knew she shouldn't, she couldn't help but feel some joy and anticipation in her heart.She likes Xiaoshui at home, and also likes the time when Xiaoshui is with her.

With this secret joy, she went to buy Xiaoshui's favorite dish in the afternoon, and after thinking about it, she bought a fish, intending to nourish Xiaoshui's body.

It was still early when I got home, so Tan Mingli went to the kitchen to cook.

She has always been very precise about the heat and time, and spends a lot of thought on cooking every day. She doesn't want Xiaoshui to come back for a long time without eating, and she doesn't want the food to be cold for a long time when Xiaoshui comes back.

The milky white fish soup in the pot was gurgling. Tan Mingli picked up a spoon and took a sip. He thought it was not bad. Just as he smiled comfortably, the door rang.

Is Xiao Shui back?Tan Mingli was overjoyed, and hurried to open the door without taking off her apron: "Xiao Shui, you—"

Shen Qingzhou stood outside the door.

Tan Mingli was stunned.

The handsome man was wearing a suit, holding a large bouquet of bright red roses in his arms, and was about to hand them to her with a smile.Tan Mingli turned cold and didn't answer, but asked, "How did you get in?"

The property management of this community is very strict, and outsiders cannot enter without the permission of the residents.

After thinking about it, the more important thing is not this, but—Tan Mingli frowned: "How do you know I live here?"

She took a step back calmly.

Shen Qingzhou's flowers were held up in the air for a long time but no one picked them up. The smile on his face collapsed a bit, but he quickly regained his support: "Mingli, happy birthday."

He asked gracefully again: "Today is your birthday, don't you invite me in for a sit down? Let's go in and talk?"

He has a pair of peach blossom eyes, and he looks good when he smiles. When he was in college, he made many little girls' hearts flutter. Although he is over [-] now, he looks good because he has been paying attention to maintenance and exercise.

But Tan Mingli was unmoved, and just protected the door so that he would not push it in.She secretly regretted that she came out in such a hurry that she didn't bring a mobile phone with her, otherwise she would immediately call the property management to ask them to drag Shen Qingzhou out, and she also regretted that she hadn't checked the cat's eyes in advance - but it was too late to say these things now.

She just said: "You answer me first."

Seeing her being so vigilant, Shen Qingzhou understood Tan Mingli's temperament and style, and knew that he would not be able to enter her room if he didn't tell her why today, so he stopped laughing and lowered his arms, a little irritable and guilty, and muttered for a long time Only one name came out.

"He lives in the same community as you, and he brought me in."

Shen Qingzhou thought about it for a while and felt it wasn't enough, so he hurriedly added, "He also told me you live here."

The person Shen Qingzhou mentioned was a friend they both knew. He had a good relationship with Tan Mingli. He was indeed in the same community as her, and he knew that she lived here.

Tan Mingli heard that his intention was to shirk responsibility, and said that today's uninvited trip had nothing to do with him, so he didn't respond to it, but just smiled coldly: "For no reason, why did he tell you?"

Shen Qingzhou was speechless, choked by her words for a long time, and there was some sadness in his eyes, and he said in a dazed manner: "Mingli... I remember you were not like this before, you have always been gentle... you--"

Tan Mingli was very annoyed when he heard these words, she turned around and was about to close the door to get her mobile phone to call security, but Shen Qingzhou grabbed her hand.

"What are you doing?" Tan Mingli was startled and angry. Shen Qingzhou's hand was so strong that it hurt her wrist, "Let go!"

"You still refuse to forgive me, right?" Shen Qingzhou's eyes turned red, "Mingli, I know you hate me...you can beat me and scold me, but don't be so indifferent to me, okay?"

"I really love you." He begged.

"..."

Tan Mingli was slightly silent, looking at the man like a trapped beast, he only felt pitiful and ridiculous in his heart.She said softly: "You think too much, Qingzhou. I don't hate you."

Where there is love there is hatred.She has no love for Shen Qingzhou, so naturally she has no hatred.

She felt ridiculed again, smiled faintly, and asked, "Do you love me?"

Shen Qingzhou nodded hurriedly upon hearing this.

Tan Mingli smiled softly, stretched and beautiful: "You are lying."

"If you really loved me, you wouldn't have cheated at the beginning..." She stretched out her hand and broke the man's fingers holding her tightly one by one, "If you really loved me, you wouldn't ask so rudely Suddenly came to my door and asked for my address."

Shen Qingzhou stared at her blankly, let her shake off her hand, lowered her head and did not speak.

"Qingzhou, you go back, don't come again."

Tan Mingli squeezed her wrist, frowned slightly in pain, and said calmly.

"You're lying too."

Shen Qingzhou suddenly raised his head.

His eyes were bloodshot: "You said you didn't care, you lied! You obviously hate me, and you want to destroy me!"

Shen Qingzhou seemed to have suddenly found a backbone, straightened his waist and grabbed her shoulders muttering to himself: "You told your sister to suppress me, didn't you? Didn't you! You hold a grudge against me, and you revenge me! "

Tan Mingli was stunned for a moment, and was about to say that you are going crazy again, when she remembered—Ming Qing—she sighed helplessly, it was indeed her fault first.

She barely resisted the man's fury, but lowered her eyes and said softly: "Qingzhou, I didn't do that."

"If you want to hit me, it's not impossible if it can calm you down. It's just that I didn't do it. Although you will cheat, I'm not the one who will do it just because you cheated. "

Tan Mingli was so gentle and calm that it was almost ruthless.

Shen Qingzhou was stunned.

Yes, yes, he knows Tan Mingli's temperament, and also understands Tan Mingli's behavior.His ex-wife... was a woman of noble character and integrity. She had always been upright and frank, and never bothered to do these small tricks behind her back.

He slowly let go of her hand, slumped and powerless.

"Sister Pear?"

Tan Mingli's calm expression suddenly broke.

Xiaoshui!

Yes, it's time, Xiao Shui is back, but——

Zhao Guangshui ran to her side with his schoolbag on his back, glanced at the emotional strange man beside her in shock, and asked her, "Did he bully you?"

Before Tan Mingli could answer, she instinctively stood in front of Tan Mingli, gritted her teeth and said softly, "Stay away from her."

This was said to Shen Qingzhou.

Shen Qingzhou didn't expect that a little girl would come out suddenly, she looked very familiar with Tan Mingli, and stood in front of Tan Mingli as soon as she came, making him look like a heinous villain.He stepped forward to explain: "No...I think you might..."

"Don't come here!"

Zhao Guangshui was quite agitated by his sudden step forward, he opened his arms tightly to protect Tan Mingli, and told her to go in quickly, but said, "I'm calling the police! Don't come here."

Shen Qingzhou was in a hurry, and wanted to grab her when he stepped forward: "Why are you calling the police! This is between me and Mingli, what are you—"

Before he calmed down, he reached out and grabbed the girl by the collar, throwing her aside.
